By Mr. Cannon: "NNCPS is partnering with other Agencies to provide contractors and personnel to process name checks. For example, the FBI and USCIS have implemented a key initiative to use contractor resources to prioritize the processing of "Single-Hit" USClS Name Check requests, that is, pending name check requests that have only one FBI file potentially identified with it that needs to be reviewed in order to process the request. By applying contractor resources to process these "Single Hit" requests, the FBI may significantly reduce the pending USClS name check workload."

Are they interested in national security or just numbers of processed name checks? Why not create a special team to handle requests with the high number of "hits" as those are much more dangerous potentially for the national security?

When did he make the statement ?

Also, how to find out whether the case had 1 hit or multiple hits ( and how many ).

APPAS123: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESSTIONS, WE REALLY APPRICIATED.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WORKED OUT.

LAST MONTH I OPNED SR FOR ME AND MY WIFE. THIS MONTH SEND EMAIL TO OMBUDSMAN. SEND EMAIL TO NSCFOLLOWUP. TWICE WENT TO INFOPASS. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES CUSTOMER SERVICE.

PRIORITY DATE: DEC 15 2005 SERVICE CENTER: NSC CATEGORY: EB2

JUST NOW GOT Card/ Document Production EMAILS. Glad I could be of help. Please stick around and help others as well and if you don't mind, please donate as much as you can to IV. Enjoy your new found freedom :)

No thats not what I am saying. Let me repeat what I am saying and this comes out of the draft I am working with a lawyer The interpretation of the intent of the law by USCIS is flawed and should be reconsidered given the enormous backlogs in various categories.

1. If the people are allowed to move between the categories it will just move the backlog from one line to another penalizing the ones already in that line. 2. It does not provides an equal opportunity to the people already in that line to move to other category who are patiently waiting for their turn. 3. The porting is subject to gaming and the people who know how to work the system will be the most benefitted by this. 4. It will also eleminate any potential for the spill of visa numbers from Eb2 to Eb3 category as Eb2 itself will be backlogged

It should be noted that the immigration benefits are associated with a job requirements and not a person's qualifications. Changing a GC category should not be allowed except in certain extraordinary circumstances and through appropriate changes in the law.

Mpadap, your arguments are valid but not pertinent to what I am trying to do. If a person becomes elligible , he/she must be allowed to apply for the positions matching his qualifications. Only thing is that he should not benefit from the portability of PD.

U are saying - The person's GC category should be same all through out the GC process, irrespective of the technical advancements the person make during the course of the GC process. A person is porting only because he is qualified for the category, U folks are talking as if there is an open slot and everyone is clamoring for it.

U'r logic should be similar to the below scenario..

A person joins a company as a Jr. Engineer, then based on U'r logic he/she cannot become a Manager (which requires an MBA / equivalent) because he entered the workforce as a Jr. Engg. Even though the fellow would've acquired necessary skills and even MBA (going part-time to school), still he/she cannot become a Manager. U are vouching that an MBA who joined few months earlier can become the Manager but not the home groomed fellow. Wow, U'r logic seems to a ground breaking thought process, please extrapolate U'r lawsuit for the case mentioned above. If you win, this might be the most ground breaking decision in US.

Personally I've reported to folks who joined company as high-school grads and worked their way up to Managerial position ofcoz acquiring the necessary college education while working. They have shown up those experience to move ahead of other folks who joined later with higher degrees.

sunnysurya and rollingflood, Rather than focusing on divisive efforts why can't you focus on real problem - retrogression. Why don't you work towards IV's goals? You folks joined the forum few months back and have already made great impact. Hope you would channel U'r energy into something positive for the entire community.

Hope they don't flipflop like they did on july 2nd. ;)

...on a seperate note, the world will now be watching our next steps more closely.

Yes, I agree that not filing GC earlier is not an excuse for MBA. The point is he still would have been in the same situation (EB3, 2003 is not too different from EB2, 2005) in terms of how fast he will get his GC..

It is really better. He can recapture his old eb3 PD after getting approval for eb2 based I-140 for the manager job.

Law provides equal opportunity to everyone for PD recapture. This is my point.

And, for those who are going to argue that no one is going to file GC for him in 2003, this is not a valid legal arguement. Granted, it may be a emotional one.

On a related note, how many people REALLY agree that GC is for the future job? But they never dispute that in court of law because it does not hurt their case. Anything that hurts their GC cause makes them victim and root cause for gaming the system.

Congratulations to all the folks getting green cards and all the best to those who are expecting.

Cheers!! Mithilesh ------------------------------------------ PD: March 23, 2006 TSC Eb2-I. Opened SR on Sept 1 (Date PD became current) - Received response that case is under review on sept 7. CPO on Sept 8. Sent Email to Streamline on Sept 1.

I have not seen the language of the bill. Has anyone seen the exact language of the bill?

Should this bill become law (in its present form without any changes ) will the new provisions apply to ANY H1B application (i.e new applications, Transfer due to change of employer , H1B extension application with current employer) or just to NEW H1B applications and not to H1B extensions filed by the currentemployer.

There are hundreds of H1B applicants who do not have EAD but have approved PERM or approved PERM + approved I-140 and will be filing for extensions.

THe reason USCIS is showing low numbers for the reason that , no one will then raise the question for recpature. Looking at the numbers they will say, O, the numbers are so low, whats the need for recapture and we will be left hanging cold and dry.

This is a plot of a well planned strategy.

So the question araise is why the dates are not moving or not current?

Hi vikki76, bpositive, dipika, caliguy, leoindiano: If I am correct, your PDs are current, right? Do you guys know if your case was pre-adjudicated and/or assigned to an IO? I keep reading from the forums that some apps with PDs as late as Dec 2004 and a couple of Jan 2005 got approved. Wondering why the earlier (eg. mine is July 04) not approved yet. Could we all join togther and write a letter to Napolitino(Thanks to SoP for the idea) and ask her to take some action on our cases?

Its current. and my case was pre-adjudicated on feb 20th, 2009, assigned to IO on sept 17th 2009.

Sept 4th, infopass 1 - all clear, pre-adjudicated on feb 2009. Sept 7th to 15th - 4 SR's - No Response on any of them. all CSR's told samething, everything is clear except FP, opening Request to send them to you. Sept 15th - Lawyer's email - Not sure if this helped, But, exactly after this, it is assigned to IO. Visa Numbers are out for Fiscal Year 2009. Sept 22nd - infopass 2 - both apps with same officer, please wait Sept 25th - FP notices arrived on 25th, with appointments for oct 21st, Sept 29th - did a walk-in for FP at local ASC and got it done early. So, it clears the way for october. Sept 30th - there was a hard LUD, may be coming out of FP uploading.

Got this reply from Senator on 29th. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- These I-485’s are based on the principle’s approved I-140, SRC0XXXXXXXXXX as a 2nd preference from India with a priority date of 11/19/04 and there is a current visa available.

TSC is currently processing I-485 visas based on filing date order. There are a large amount of cases that are being worked and these cases will be worked in receipt date order. With the limited amount of visas that are currently available between now and September 30, 2009, there is no guarantee that these cases can be completed before the end of FY2009. It is estimated, that in general, these cases will be completed between 45-90 days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since, apps are with IO now, i am restraining from doing any more inquiries. The only hurdle we knew, FP is now complete.

Call USCIS and they should be able be give you the right direction. Please update us on how it goes.

Hi Guys,

I am pretty new to the forum (as a member), I have been browsing the same for quite some time and found it a good source of information regarding immigration related activities. Right now I am getting removed from my project as one of the top 3 Indian outsourcing firm is dumping their L1 resources at my client site and replacing all the citizens, GCs, EADs, H1 etc. These resources are used in projects managed and controlled by my client (most of them are consulting assignments) and these resources are used on java/.net/oracle projects, these two are violations of L1 visa restrictions set by USCIS, I want to know how and where to complain against this violation and we have all evidence to prove the same (project documents, time sheets, work assignments etc). Please let me know exactly and to which agencies we should complain.

Thanks in Advance,

Srini

I am joining Law Suit. I am leaving this country, if they make it 'U' for Eb2 and Eb3 for India. i don't see a point here. they no need to approve the cases if no visa numbers but what wrong to accept. thoguh I am effecting by this my feeling is that this is just a rumor.

The way Lou Dobbs sees it, people shouldn?t need basic cable to hear him sound off at length on issues like immigration and free trade. Mr. Dobbs said yesterday that he was creating a daily three-hour talk radio show that would run in the afternoons and conclude an hour before his nightly program on CNN, which begins at 7 p.m. on the East Coast.

?My interest is in bringing a voice of reason, rather than the partisan and ideological poles that define talk radio right now,? he said in a telephone interview. Mr. Dobbs vowed that neither the right nor the left would be able to lay claim to him, with some conservatives who support his hard-line take against illegal immigrants breaking ranks with his opposition to free trade. ?I consider both political parties to be tragic failures,? Mr. Dobbs said.

United Stations Radio Networks, a private company that syndicates one-minute financial updates by Mr. Dobbs, is producing the program. Asked if any station had committed to carry it, a company spokeswoman said that it was only now starting its outreach.

I doubt the USCIS has any rules regarding processing queue. Some people are waiting 10+ years, others receive approvals in 2 months.

My understanding on this is - after I-485 uscis works on RD and if your FP/NC is cleared PD is looked at for preference in each category but uscis won't wait guy stuck in nc for 10 yr to make way for your gc. If you are lucky you may get it sooner than you expect
